Had a model cry off because of illness on the day, and as it was being held at ARB Studios, I contacted Amy to let her know. After a brief discussion, we agreed not to waste the day and set off on an outdoor shoot so she could help me with my camera skills.

One of my better decisions, and I'm so happy I spent it with a patient and informative teacher. I'm old enough to be her grandfather, but her knowledge and skills are well worth paying attention to.

I'm delighted to be learning from such an expert and yes, I highly recommend her.

Sean and I had a couples shoot with Amy , at her studio in Stoke on Trent, it was a kind of first for all of us , but we made it work , Amy is one of my favourite people to work with , she's so lovely and nothing we ask is too much for her. Really love doing our shoots , can't wait for the next one 🥰😁

Arranged a shoot with Amy about a month ago, in my professional capacity as a storyteller. My apologies for the late reference, it's been a busy time for me.

We shot for 2 hours, with me wandering about all over the place because I'm not used to standing in one place, but Amy was incredibly patient and fun to work with, making suggestions about poses and lighting I hadn't considered. I showed the images to several people, they're all complimentary about her work, and I'm using several of them on my webpage and social media. The shoot went far too quickly and I'd happily work with her again.

Highly recommended.

I had a photoshoot with Amy at a Kiln studio camera club event and it was a pleasure.

She's a really friendly, genuine person and has some experience herself as a model so can see both perspectives which really helps.

She had some nice ideas for the poses she wanted to capture during the duo shoot, but was also open to ideas and suggestions. Amy has a nice relaxed manner in how she goes about her work and the shoot was easy and fun!

Would certainly recommend her, and hope to work with her again in the future.

Did an Halloween styled shoot with this amazing photographer at her studio, Arb Studios. Amy gives the best direction, she knows what you need from the shoot and always has the best ideas. I loved the day and we had so much fun too, loved all the images 🖤...

Would I recommend working with Amy… absolutely 100%! This woman is one of the most kind and considerate people I have had the pleasure to work with. I’m so happy to see her take the next step and open her own studio. Her work is always absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait for the next shoot.

Shot with Amy today at her studio, she’s a wonderful person and an amazing photographer, I’d highly recommend her and her studio to any model and photographer, I was made to feel extremely welcome and comfortable throughout our shoot.

I hope to shoot with her again!

Thanks again :)

Amy is wonderful to shoot with. We had a great first shoot together and instantly clicked!

She is very friendly, warm and professional and really looks after her models! We drove to a location and used a couple of different looks along a canal, path and in woods while we still had the light.

We shot fashion with a few quirky experimental images which were good fun! Pre shoot comms were great, Amy put together a fab moodboard which was helpful for me to select outfits for the shoot from. She's happy to direct and equally let you free flow and I would be very happy to work with her again! Thanks for a lovely shoot, Amy ☺️

I had the absolute please of meeting and working with Amy for the first time last week when she booked a place, alongside BGA images, on my ‘bridal prep’ photography shoot at an Air BnB in Bridgnorth.

Amy is lovely company and I warmed to her straight away. Shes very friendly and kind, with a lovely manner. She’s great at communicating with her models and is generally a delight to work with.

Amy is also a very skilled photographer with a great eye for detail and a passion that’s contagious. She’s obviously very creative and the ideas she suggested on the day worked beautifully.

Amy has been kind enough to share edited images from the shoot with me and I’m blown away! They’re so beautiful and I’m sure any bride would be ecstatic to have similar shots in their wedding album.

I’d recommend Amy to other models without hesitation and I hope to work with her again in the future.

Thanks so much Amy ❤️

I had booked a 3 hour shoot with Miss Rosie Lea at a “Oaklodge” where she was holding several studio days. As Amy has recently achieved a degree in photography I thought it would be nice if I invited her along to shoot a model like Rosie who is professional, experienced, published, gorgeous, has a vast array of beautiful clothing and is lovely person. All messages between us arranging the shoot were always answered promptly and to the point.

I picked Amy up at 7.00am on the morning of the shoot and she had all her equipment ready to go.

The shoot went really well with some great ideas from Amy to the locations and positions of various props and I think we both managed to get some great images we can both use to enhance our portfolios.

As well as being a great photographer Amy is ambitious, extremely polite, talented, artistic and a really nice person. Her editing skills are second to none and have to be seen to be believed!

I totally recommend Amy as a photographer to any model or studio 100% with total confidence.

Many thanks Amy for a great day and I look forward to working with you again.

Had an amazing fairytale-themed shoot with Amy today at some woods near Abbey Hulton,

Communication was great all the way through, Amy has lots of knowledge in photography, lighting, editing & ideas for poses and it really showed!

She’s also a lovely person and so much fun to work with, I felt comfortable & looked after throughout out shoot, would 100% work with this photographer again 😁

I had my first Photoshop tutorial today with ARB Art & photography (Amy). Prior to the tutorial communications were excellent in every way. As Amy is in the final few months of her photography degree course she is right up to date with her photography and editing skills. In the four hours we spent together she was really patient, knowledgeable, helpful and made editing look so easy. She gave me precise instructions when edited one of my previous published images and the results were fantastic.

Apart from her photographic skills Amy is an exceptionally nice person, polite, cheerful, chatty and very well mannered.

I cannot recommend Amy highly enough both as a photographer and as a mentor.

Many thanks for your kindness and help and I look forward to many more tutorials, sharing information and photo shoots in the future.

My second shoot with this talented photographer today was very impromptu and unexpected as I was at Mow Cop Castle in photographer mode with the Beautiful AmieeSaffire as my model for the photoshoot when she took control of my camera to produce some excellent images.

It was very short and sweet but made even sweeter as it was a duo shoot with the lovely Dark Raven who I have worked with before and is always a delight to work with.

We must do more reciprocal shoots and soon!!!!

I had my first shoot with this lovely lady at her home and I found her very friendly and very professional in her attitude and knew exactly what she wanted from the shoot, she had already told me what outfits to bring with me and all four outfits were used to Great effect with excellent directions.

All in all, we had a marvelous time together and it was such fun to experience working with this brilliant photographer the images say it all there are so many to choose from I was not sure where to begin editing.

If you have a chance to work with this wonderful lady do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed.

What a lovely girl! We both arrived few minutes before the scheduled time, she was well prepared and full of ideas and professional. We laughed a lot and just had a great time. Looking forward to another shoot! Definitely recommend :)

Brilliant young photographer with plenty of potential. Improving everything I work with her. Always has brilliant ideas and her edits are beautiful.

Amy is so lovely to work with. Her passion for photography really shows on her shoots.

Our shoot was fabulous, Amy gave direction when needed perfectly and explained what she was doing in terms of lighting/camera settings. You’re immediately made comfortable with a cup of tea and snacks whilst she talks you through her aims for the project.

I’d highly recommend working with her! I can’t wait for our next shoot.
